Club career

On October 15, 2016, Anyomi made her Bundesliga debut against 1. FFC Turbine Potsdam after coming on as a substitute for Kozue Ando.

In January 2020, she extended her contract with SGS Essen. ^[4] During the 2019/20 DFB Cup final against VfL Wolfsburg, Anyomi suffered a fractured coccyx and was absent from SGS Essen for a long time. ^[5]

After making her debut for the U16 national team in September 2015, she took second place at the Nordic Cup with this national team in the summer of 2016 .

She was called up to the senior national team squad for the first time for a game against England, which was scheduled to take place on October 27, 2020. ^[7]  However, the game was canceled at short notice by the English association due to a positive corona test by a member of the support staff. ^[8]  On February 21, 2021, she came on as a substitute for Klara Bühl in the 61st minute of the friendly match against Belgium for her first senior international match. The home game finished as a 2–0 win for Germany. ^[9]
